I see no reason why consciousness must necessarily be sequential in time, maybe once you begin to die your consciousness decreases till it matches some other being. I don't see why that couldn't just as well be earlier in time as later. Maybe consciousness just flows in a cycle. In fact if our consciousness is owned by many beings instead of just one, could that explain indeterminism in QM. ( We don't know which copy we are. )
